Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• Alternative Sports’ Future Rise and What It Means to Everyone

  Vaynerchuk connects the growth of emerging sports to the experience of their earliest fans. The notes name two ways into a league, an individual athlete’s personality and attachment to a team. Those entry points call for different introductions even when they lead to the same match.

• Document, Don’t Create: Creating Content That Builds Your Personal Brand

  Vaynerchuk proposes documenting work in progress as an alternative starting point for someone stuck trying to invent a polished persona. The useful material is a decision or lesson that really occurred. An ordinary workday also contains private details and unfinished judgments that an editor should leave out.

• The One Thing I Didn’t Clarify Enough in Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook

  Vaynerchuk revisits his book’s distinction between doing something useful for an audience and asking for a sale. His clarification addresses a mistaken expectation that giving entitles the seller to a response. He also discusses reducing friction when a reader does choose to act.
